IAMB San Diego 2008 Conference
Submission
 
Procedures for Abstract/Proposal Submission:
Extended Submission deadline  - October 13, 2007
Full manuscripts and Extended abstracts only.

The submission of abstracts, extended abstracts and full papers involves several steps. First, submit an abstract of the paper or submit "in progress" theoretical or empirical papers and case studies, or submit a proposal describing your presentation. Extended abstracts (3 to 4 pages) describing your paper are acceptable in lieu of a full paper. The submission of extended abstracts or full papers is recommended.  Submit proposal for a symposium on one page describing the subject, scope and potential participants. Each submission must be accompanied by the Submission Form and can be sent (uploaded) with the form.

When the paper/abstract is received, it will be peer–reviewed by the Program Committee. Authors of abstracts will receive notification by email within 30 days whether their abstract was rejected or accepted with reservation. Upon submission of their full paper, they will receive final notification if their paper was accepted for presentation. Authors of extended abstracts or full papers will receive by email within 30 days whether their paper was accepted, rejected, or accepted with reservation, for presentation.

Authors of accepted submission will then receive a letter of acceptance, registration form, and conference style guidelines for the final manuscript. In the case of multiple authors, only the submitter will be notified. He or she is responsible for notifying co-authors.

Once your submission has been accepted for presentation, you must register for the conference in order to present. Your allocated time for presentation and the program schedule will be emailed to you prior to the start of the conference. In order for your paper to be included in the Conference Proceedings, you must submit a Final Manuscript before December 22 , 2007.

Your submission of abstracts and proposals (i.e., text, tables, figures, and graphics) should be contained in a single file (MS Word 2002 or earlier), and sent to the Program Committee as an email attachment.

The Program Committee will accept submissions of extended abstracts and full manuscripts for consideration no later than October 13, 2007. Accepted manuscripts may be revised and re-submitted by December 22, 2007.
